Deadliner

Deadliner is here to save your day! In a world full of distractions like video games, social media, and eye-catching wallpapers, staying focused can feel like an uphill battle. With so much vying for our attention, it’s hard to keep productivity levels up. But don't worry! Deadliner is an open-source countdown app that helps you zero in on those crucial projects or even remember important birthdays.

Why Choose Deadliner?

When you fire up Deadliner, you’re welcomed by a sleek dark-themed interface. The most important settings are neatly organized into two categories. Plus, there’s a handy tray icon that lets you quickly stop the app or pull up its main window whenever you need it.

Customization Options

This app doesn’t just help you focus; it lets you personalize your experience too! You can choose a solid color for your background or even upload an image from your local disk or grab one from a URL. Want to make it fit just right? No problem! You can center, stretch, crop, or span the wallpaper across multiple monitors.

Flexible Time Formats

Time formats are super flexible too! You can pick from hours, days, weeks, or months depending on what suits your project best. Changing fonts? It’s as easy as selecting from a drop-down menu. Whether it's the included Poppins font or one of your own favorites from another folder, you're covered!

Setting Your Deadline

Filling in deadlines is straightforward: just enter the year-month-day format using hyphens. Once saved, your deadline text appears right in the middle of the screen against your chosen wallpaper.

Multi-Monitor Support

If you've got two displays going on, great news! The layout continues on the second screen too. This way, you'll always have an eye on that all-important deadline without having to switch windows constantly.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

A little heads-up: if you close the app after activating it, your wallpaper won’t automatically revert back to its original state—you’ll need to change that through Windows Settings again. Also, keep in mind that Deadliner starts up with Windows by default and needs manual disabling from Task Manager if that's not what you want.

Your Focus Buddy Awaits!

If you're searching for a free and privacy-friendly tool to help boost your focus and meet deadlines effectively, Deadliner might be just what you're looking for!
